Christmas Day 2012

A Very Merry Christmas to you all!  We spent Christmas Eve togheter with my mother and my brother.  Ribbe, pølse og surkål! Roasted spareribs!!, sausages and sour cabbage...all Norwegian style.

We have plenty enough of snow...the blue sun has vanished and it's dark outside.  The fire place is warm...the mittens are on...yes it's Christmas and winter in Norway.

 

...even my diningroom is getting there...

 

 

Have fun and do not forget to enjoy...!

The Last Sunday In My Summervacation

My Vacation is over - it ends like it started - with rain.  Norway is pretty green now - I usually have red tomatoes from my garden this late in August - but not this year - the Sun has not been here.  Last Thuesday I took a class in making cupcakes - Manuela fron Passion4Baking had classes in Hamar - and I couldn't resist!

Anyway - yesterday it was so warm outside that we could make a BBQ - and my son Nichlasen and my brother made dessert...

...I think they enjoyed it!

My mother made the salad and I took pictures...I was a great evening.

And the Tower of Cup Cakes...cakestand bought in Sacramento!

...do not forget to enjoy life or cupcakes or both...

SECOND SUNDAY IN DECEMBER

I'm not a quick blogger - I'm a slow blogger. My life is pretty busy these days - not because it's Christmas - I'm not through with last years Christmas!! Busy because life is busy! I want to partcipate in scrapping - blogging - stamping - politics - genealogy - crops and a lot more that is fun - and gives me a lot of joy!

Here are some pictures of my brother - taken this years September - in Osen. The place God left but never forgot.

Have a nice trip - don't forget to have fun!
